BugDrop is an open-source feedback widget for teams that want to inspect, adapt, and self-host their feedback workflow. It is designed around GitHub Issues, so reports land where maintainers already track bugs and feature requests.
Feedback widgets sit on public websites and sometimes inside authenticated apps. Teams should be able to understand what the widget loads, what it captures, where data goes, and how screenshots are handled. An open-source widget makes that review possible.
Open source is also useful when your workflow is specific. You may want custom labels, masking rules, issue templates, styling, or deployment constraints that do not fit a generic hosted tool.
BugDrop uses GitHub Issues as the system of record for feedback. That means maintainers can use labels, projects, assignees, milestones, comments, notifications, and automation without syncing from another dashboard.
Install the GitHub App, add the widget script, and configure labels, screenshots, masking, and submitter fields. The self-hosting guide covers teams that want more control over deployment.
